Sylvia is an engaging, fun and informative guide. She showed us tucked away, almost hidden places that brought Edinburgh's history to life!

We had a fantastic time, thank you so much for our “private” tour. Not only did we learn a lot but had great conversations. Sylvia is an amazing tour guide friendly and warm, without the theatrics but so much wit. Having attended many guru walks across Europe, we can wholeheartedly recommend her.

Sylvia provided a very informative and interesting tour. She was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and reallybrought the Royal Mile and Canongate to life with many stories and little titbits of information which I'd never heard before. Definitely recommend if you want an informative and quirky tour about some of lesser known and entertaining stories about the Old Town. Not at all the run of the mill, bland tales that are usually rolled out, either. Refreshing!
